RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond Police Chief Ray Tarasovic said the department’s new online crime database will not only add a level of transparency to what police do, but he said he hoped it would help encourage neighbors to take a more active role in community policing.

“We’re not trying to hide crime, we want people to know what’s going on in their communities,” Chief Tarasovic said.

The crime database — called RAIDS Online — maps and analyzes city crime.

Obama lies. McAwful lies. Mugabe Jones lies. And Tarasovic lies for him. This is why he was selected to head the RPD Bureau of Internal Security, an Occupying Force. But this is only for the small crimes like murder, assault, theft and the like. The great crimes of graft and corruption by His Dishonor go unreported and unremarked.

Transparency?

Appears Transparent, that new era Policing, in conjunction with Government/Media, Inc,.
now omits descriptions and other known facts as Standard Practice. That’s Not a known
Public Safety Advisories Technique for the residents in the areas affected.

Well, that’s a bit strange….I went in and selected only “homicide” and “attempted homicide” and only 2 little black blips show up on the whole map? Or is it just me. What’s the point of a database that only contains information that YOU want to put in it? Or is that about the “image” of the City?
